Superb wild animals images byMichael Poliza.Â Michael turned to the worldâs cooler climes. ANTARCTIC, revealed in 2009, is a touching and opulent espresso desk e-book, which insightfully portrays the sweetness and fragility of polar life. ANTARCTIC was a milestone in Michaelâs life for an additional cause: it took his eyes off Africa. He returned to his birthplace of Hamburg, the place he opened his personal gallery and revived previous friendships and associations. In December 2009 he was named as an envoy of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
